As the owner of a 78SC, 83SC & 88 Carrera, I can tell my, my SCs feel much stronger off the line78

Plus my 83 has very cool options



But the 88 has good points too

I would have gladly donated a couple of the extras for the cause However, there is still only the one. Could be worse though. Shane, I ordered a bit of stuff for the domination up here in Canada. Can you please let me know if I owe more for shipping, as there was no other option other than just pay up via paypal. Thanks.

I'll be the covert agent for the SCWDP. See, my car can get into their Super Secret Carrera Meetings...


No foglights in front to give it's SC heritage away...big ugly goofy tail, no rear badging...

My beast can get deep into the ranks of this "Carrera" group, before wiping them all away from the inside.

Just so long as it's not running...the smog-exempt SSIs and dual exhaust and advanced timing and burbling engine would give it away in a second among those meek, quiet, boring stock 3.2L pansies..."oh, I got a chip! Oh, I buy my hop-up parts on E-bay!"

Your feeble attempts at subterfuge have already been uncovered, SC-driver! But even if we weren't keeping tabs on your communications, the guards at our secret command bunker would have sniffed out your wimpy brakes and failure-prone chain tensioners in a second. A SECOND!

A noble effort, SC-driver. But ultimately, a failed one.

I'd like to take a moment to dispel this myth. Like many people, you assume we Carrera drivers are all movie stars. It's simply not true. Sure, we APPEAR to be movie stars because of the amazing cars we drive, but the reality is that not all of us are.

So remember - just because our cars are far superior, we put our pants on one leg at a time, just like you SC drivers.

I dress like a fireman....I jump it both legs at once.....sometimes i even do it while doing a backflip off a trampoiline....oh wait...that was a guy on a commercial....wasn't me....guess Im still not a movie star. But I AM a Carrera owner and proud. And try as you might....an SC guy can never truthfully make that comment.

This whole thing is getting personal, and kinda mean. I suggest we stop.









Not to mention, the Carrera people forgot to arm themselves for this battle of wits

One of our astute and vigilant members has informed me that you now have your own television show. It appears you are taking it up a notch!

Well played, SC-drivers. Well played, indeed...

...nor would an SC owner see the point of making that comment. You know deep down that you want to be a light weight early 911 anyways. An SC is one step closer to that than a Carrera.

I had an early light weight 911....a very nice one in fact.....I have no desire to make my Carrera into a light weight.

Ah, I get it. So you really wanted a luxury barge water pumper but couldn't afford one. But the carrera was a few steps closer...

i'm ok... just wanted to make sure you guys did not beat up on our younger brothers... I am the father of 4 young boys and could see it was only a matter of time before someone got hurt. Just had to do a timeout. Didn't want to hear any of the Carrera guys whining about so and so SCWDP did this or that
